Plans had been made for me and two of my new girlfriends, Colleen Pike and Victoria Miller, to attend the Little Black Dress event sponsored by Summerfair in Cincinnati. Unfortunately, Colleen couldn't attend, but after seeing the jewelry she makes I asked if she would consider making a custom piece. Colleen asked what my dress looked like, and if I liked color, pearls, bling. I had a sneak peak of the necklace and was so excited.

My necklace arrived beautifuly packaged with a lovely tag and card. My favorite part is that Colleen didn't know when she made the necklace that I love the dresses and jewelry of the 1920's Art Deco era. It's so wonderful to make new friends. Colleen somehow was able to tap into who I am and it showed in this piece.

About Me

Calligraphy is a skill that's mastered with practice. It's all about hand, mind and eye coordination. I have many years of calligraphic experience and training with master calligraphers from around the world. As a modern day lettering artist I work with fabric, canvas, wood, glass as well as paper. My education process has included incorporating watercolor, and acrylics into my work. I love teaching as it gives me an opportunity to share how calligraphy can be incorporated into everyday life.
